Ohio gives an athlete agent the option to satisfy its registration security with a $15,000 surety bond under ORC Chapter 4771, in favor of the state for anyone injured by a violation of the athlete agent law. Ours is $450 flat — 3% of the bond amount. Five-minute application, no credit check.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
License bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive ready to file with your athlete agent registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$15,000 bond × 3% = $450, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
An athlete agent recruits and represents athletes for professional-sports contracts and endorsements. Ohio regulates athlete agents under ORC Chapter 4771 (administered by the Ohio Athletic Commission), and conditions registration on a financial security — one accepted form is a $15,000 surety bond.
The bond runs in favor of the State of Ohio, for the benefit of any person who is injured by a violation of Chapter 4771 or the rules under it — including athletes, educational institutions, and others harmed by improper recruiting or contracting conduct.
The statute lets you satisfy the requirement other ways too — a certificate of deposit or assigned savings account in the same amount, or professional malpractice insurance of at least $50,000. The bond is usually the cheapest path, since you pay the 3% premium rather than locking up $15,000 in cash. You must maintain the security or the Commission suspends your registration.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
